This is easy walk with some pretty views over the surrounding countryside. It is very muddy in parts at the minute so go with grippy shoes. There are also some steep drops in the woods to be careful of.

This was meant to be a 40km gravel ride to Watton. After getting there we found out there were no trains running due to rail maintenance so the day turned out a bit longer than planned.

This is an nice circular walk around some pretty Cambridgeshire villages. It's easily accessible from London on the trains running out of Alexandra Palace or Enfield Chase.
There are some parts where you walk on roads but these are not really busy.
There are opportunities to eat and drink at cafes and village shop en route.
